"engineering abilities that were incredible."

    If you would like to see some examples of incredible engineering, how
about flying on the new 800 seater Boeing 747??, ride on the bullet train in
Japan, visit the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas,Drive over worlds longest
suspension bridge which is two kilometres long(the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in
Japan) or the Worlds tallest building being built in Dubai, it will be three
quarters of a kilometre high!!!
     I feel that it would be more beneficial to visit modern day incredible
examples of engineering feats, rather than engineering feats from a by-gone
age which are no longer considered to be incredible.
     P.W.

i havent been reading this thread but one of my ambitions is to travel
through the southern American continent. Look at the indigenous sites
of milleniums ago which had a self supporting infrastructure and
engineering abilities that were incredible. The forests, the
mountains, the peoples. So much there.
I enjoyed the recent Motorcycle diaries film which touched on the subject.
